DISQUS

What are they thinking? · 2 years ago

Interesting that Jack Lavin is "going after" corporations (for the GRT, etc), when it's his job to get corporations to come to Illinois.

Addressing the Facebook article, if you have a gripe against another student, your parent, or even a faculty member at school by all means gripe about it. Just don't make any threats, because ultimately that is just bad news. Especially if someone can read it.

While I have real reservations about the Real ID act, that editorial in the Pantagraph was a paranoid rant. Anytime you both refer to Hitler AND the book of Revelation, I'm not sure your point of view should be respected.

Regarding the possible cutbacks at Oak Forest, I thought Illinois needed to reduce its use of institutional care according to numerous experts and advocacy groups. Does anybody but a tiny tiny fraction of the population need long term care at a full service hospital. I really doubt it.

Sounds like another jobs farm not a state of the art program for the disabled. So of course, the employees are complaining. And residents may well be attached to the place but they deserve state of the art care plans not what's politically expedient for the County Dems.

that facebook story is stupid. The problem those teens face is that they are making threats and hit lists. You can ban myspace and facebook from every computer in the world and it won't stop the fact that kids make hit lists and shady statements. in days past people would simply write them on paper with a pencil. shall we ban them in schools as well?

Jack Lavin needs to be quiet and grow some. Every time our hare-brained governor comes up with some new "initiative" that's going to make our lives wonderful, Jack is right out there, ready to lick his shoes and kiss his, well nevermind. Shilling for the gov. just plain makes you look bad, Jack.
